A Fresh Look At Rejection

Our readers love to talk about God's truth. Several months ago, we offered the chance for LYWB.com readers to submit posts for our blog. The response was overwhelming. You'll be able to catch the writing of these one-time guest bloggers in the coming months. These are readers just like you who are striving to live out God's truth. Since these are guest bloggers, their style or approach may be a little different than you're used to, but we've read every word and we think they've got something important to say. In fact, check this great post by Lindsee Eddy.

girl waiting for love As my friend and I loaded into sweet Karen's car the Sunday morning we left Atlanta to come home, the topic of dating came up. To my surprise, it was the first time dating came up the entire weekend and that thrilled me to no end. Karen asked, "So, are you dating anyone? Are there any prospective boys in your life?" While part of me would have loved to have gone off in full detail about the amazing man the Lord had provided for me, I answered with a simple, "Nope!"  

She then asked if I'd dated and then just never pursued any of the guys further. In other words, have I rejected a lot? My answer was no. I'd not even been asked on a date.   

Have I rejected a lot? I've rejected none.  

Let me just say that if I stopped right there and took a good look at my dating circumstances, I could get so depressed. What girl doesn't want to be pursued? Asked on a date? Taken to a fancy restaurant? Hugged (or kissed) goodnight? It's every girl's dream to be swept away by her prince charming.  

Let me also set the record straight that I'm not against dating whatsoever. I didn't make a rule for myself when I was ten that I wouldn't date until I was twenty-five. It's just turned out that way.

However, the truth of the matter is that it just hasn't happened for me. Am I depressed about that? Well, no. Yes, I'm sure the Lord's holding a bottle of boy-cried tears and lonely tears here and there, but it doesn't keep me down and out in the mornings. Do I know why it hasn't happened? If I did, I could maybe tell you why the sky was blue, too.  

What's clear to me now more than ever is that the Lord, for a reason only He knows, has guarded my heart and emotions from any boy. From my perspective, they're just not interested in me.

For instance, in the past year or so about three different people have tried to set me up with one of their single friends. What came of it? Nothing.  

The last thing I want to do is run some guy ragged just so he'll ask me on a date. No ma'am.

I don't tell you this to gain any sympathy or to even have a pity party. What I do want you to know is that those boys not pursuing me is not a reflection of me whatsoever. It's not because I'm fat or ugly, or don't dress cute enough, or am not outgoing enough, or am not godly enough, or whatever reason we girls can come up with. I truly believe it is the Lord keeping them from me and protecting my heart from them.  

I don't know why He's chosen to protect my heart for so long. I do know that it's His grace in my life. I do know He alone has spared me from many broken hearts. I do know that He is building in me something beautiful. I do know that He is sanctifying me through and through and molding me into the woman I am to be one day to my future husband. I do know that marriage is a legitimate desire of my heart that I believe He's placed there and that He will be faithful.  

I know that I haven't rejected even one date, nor has the Lord ever rejected me, my heart, or my desires. And He won't reject yours, either.

I love this! I am in a very, very similar situation. I'm 21, and have been single since birth. God has guarded and protected my heart from every man. I have not dated and have not been pursued. I've had my share of crushes, but they have always turned into amazing friendships.

Thank you so much for this!
Much love and many blessings.

Thank you!
on Monday, August 1, 2011 at 5:33 pm

Wow -- this really spoke to me. I'm 20 years old, and have never been asked out or had any guys express interest in me (unless you count the 3-year-old who invited me to go to Chuckie Cheese's with him! :D). While I don't dwell on this, there have still been times when I felt like I was the "only one." I also believe God is protecting me, giving me this time to fall in love with Him and serve Him without distraction.

Thanks for sharing this. It's so encouraging to know I'm not the only one.

Faith and relationships
on Monday, August 1, 2011 at 5:45 pm

Wow. That is some amazing faith!!
Faith is not something we're born with, or something we acquire automatically when we accept Jesus. Faith is a choice... a choice to trust God with our lives and circumstances. Thank you for sharing your faith because it so inspires me!! Stepping out and trusting God for the outcome is hard to do, and I am so proud of you for trusting God for your future. You are an inspiration and a jewel, and I pray blessings on your ministries and your life. THANK YOU for sharing!

Agreed

I really agree with you that God guards the hearts of some girls.
I have never had any guy show interest in me most of my life.
Except for one time, and that was when I was really young. But nothing happened that would have broken my heart.
I believe (as you do) that God is protecting me from a broken heart, and unstable relationships with guys.
Even if a guy asked me on a date, I wouldn't go because I don't believe in dating and I'd send him to my Dad.

God is preparing me for my future husband and He is doing the same for you.
God Bless!

I really needed to read this today... I am 19 and have never been on a date. It really has been bothering me lately. This post reminded me that God still has a plan for me :) It is still one of my biggest insecurities, but I am praying each day that God will help me to see his plan in making me wait :)

Thanks!
on Monday, August 1, 2011 at 9:01 pm

I feel like I'm right in the same boat with you all. I've never been asked out, never been dated, and yet my two best friends are both courting truly wonderful, godly guys. It's easy for me to get jealous/depressed that they have such amazing men who love them very much while I have no one.
But this post has reminded me that God has a plan, I just need to wait. The song, "While I'm Waiting" by Josh Waller is playing in my mind. "While I'm waiting, I will serve you. While I'm waiting, I will worship. While I'm waiting, I will not faint.
I'll be running the race even while I wait." And isn't that what God calls us to do, to serve Him first?
So thanks Lindsee for this amazing post! I will be in prayer for all of you girls still waiting! With love in Christ!

Right on, Lindsee, this puts a whole new perspective on guys not being interested. there's actually nothing wrong with us, God just has other plans. I think alot of girls need to read this...

Re:

I am almost the complete opposite. there are tons of boys in my youth group @ my church and a few friends from my class at school.I haven't actually dated any of them, just hung out and talked normally at my house.

In the same boat.
on Monday, August 1, 2011 at 10:42 pm

Wow this was incredible! I had a "boyfriend" when I was in 6th grade. Thank the Lord nothing happend. Nothing heart breaking or anything I would regret. Except having a boyfriend. I was pressured though. But I agree with all of ya'll, God has something planned for us. He could just be using this time for us to draw closer to Him. I have no interest in guys whatsoever. Yes sometimes I can get a bit envious and not think that God has someone in store for me. But I still trust Him with all my heart.

I will make sure to keep you girls in my prayers.

God bless you all. :)

You sound so sweet! If you do get married, would you maybe consider writing a book about it? I have a feeling it will be a very special story. Maybe something to the effect of the Ludy's or Josh Harris. :)

I really appreciate your honesty, I have too felt lonely sometimes, even though my parents and family love me. It's just not the same as a romantic love! Thanks for the encouragement.

Susie

Thanks for your honesty :)
on Monday, August 1, 2011 at 10:58 pm

I love that you are willing to be vunerable to let us hear that we aren't alone. I can say it's been hard, but I'm going to trust God for the right man to come into my life at the right time. He knows me and He knows what's best for me. So I'm going to let Him work it out. And it's nice to know other girls out there are waiting for the right guy too! Thanks for sharing your heart with us!

on Monday, August 1, 2011 at 11:15 pm

I am in a similar situation although I am only 15. I have never been asked out on a date. I'm also not allowed to date, and that doesn't bother me but o have wondered why nobody has ever asked me...I had mixed feelings. I knew I would have to say no to any boy who asked me out and I didn't want to hurt anyone but I also wondered, why? Is there something wrong with me? This post ha encouraged me greatly and caused me to look on it as protection from god. I mean we all know that boys come with drama! I'm very thankful that the lord has spared me from that so far. Thanks so much for this post!

Re:
on Monday, August 1, 2011 at 11:34 pm

Wow. How very relevant to my current struggle this post is! ^_^
For the past few weeks, the subject of most of my thought life has centered around marriage. I'm sometimes afraid that marriage might not be in my future. I'm afraid that I'll blink and suddenly I'll be 30 and still single. And then I'll blink again and be 40 and still single. That thought scares me =( I'm only 20, so I realize I have time... but then I can't help thinking about the women in my family, all who married and/or had children *before* they turned 20. But for me, there's no prospects. Guys used to ask me out during high school, but for some odd reason I just wasn't interested in having a boyfriend back then- but now that I'm older and I actually *want* to find Mr. Right, guys suddenly have no interest in me! What is that?!
My pastor told me that sometimes when we let go of a desire in our heart and release it to God, that's only when He will grant us our wish. However, obviously if I release this desire for marriage with the expectation of finding my future husband, in return, then I didn't really release my desire to God, did I? =\

I just really, really want to get married. I have little desire for an interesting career...I just really want to be a wife and mother. "I do know that marriage is a legitimate desire of my heart that I believe He's placed there and that He will be faithful." If it's true that God has placed this desire within me and it's not just me who wants it, then I would probably feel better. However, I do think it's very "coincidental" that this post deals with exactly what I've been dwelling on lately (especially after last night when I decided that I want to talk with my pastor about exactly this).

Wow, my comment is getting really long. I'm going to stop rambling now. Sorry *blushes*. I notice that my comments are usually very long.. But I can't help it! I'm very talkative in person, too!! =D lol

Never had a boyfriend since birth
on Tuesday, August 2, 2011 at 3:14 am

I used to get really annoyed every time my Mom would encourage me not to have a boyfriend and to let me know how happy she is that no guy has ever asked me out :\ and I would think, Am I ugly? Don't I have that charisma or appeal? T_T She's been making fun of me because she saw that I seem worried that no guy ever asked me out. :'( It really hurts and makes me mad!!!!

But the Lord helped me see that singleness is really a gift from Him. I could serve Him easier because I'm not tied down to a guy. I can go to many places by myself without having a guy to worry about, blah blah. And I won't be worried that my guy will cheat on me because I don't have a guy to worry about! Singleness gives me a whole lot of freedom. :D
Right now, I really enjoy the fact that I'm single right now... single as in no boyfriend :D

A Fresh Look At Rejection
on Tuesday, August 2, 2011 at 5:07 am

whahaha! What a wonderful perspective.

I am also single since birth. and i'm 32 years old now. but unlike your story I have dated few guys before but we never conclude to an exclusive relationship.

I was deeply emotionally involved with christian guy friends several times. lately, i got to be close with a guy. he seemed to be perfect. he claimed to love the Lord. He's a worship leader at our church. I've seen him deep in prayers. He has good leadership qualities. and we are close friends. but when I inquired the Lord about him, the Lord simply told me, "I am your sun and shield. I will not withhold any good thing from those who walk uprightly." whoaa! i never understood that passage at first. it has been a year now since i received that Word from the Lord. but few months after receiving that Word the Lord revealed the reason. and I'm forever grateful!

I am 18 and starting college. I have never been asked ut or dated before. In my high school I was different b/c I didn't have a boy drolling all over me. I hope I have a better experience in college..Pray for me!

Crushes
on Tuesday, August 2, 2011 at 1:46 pm

Crushes definitely make waiting harder. I'm too young for a relationship, but my hormones won't listen to me. They insist on liking guys. :( It is definitely a good opportunity to run into God's arms. Sometimes waiting is so hard, but God is so trustworthy and so good.
No eye has seen, no ear has heard, nor has it entered into the hearts of man, the things which God has prepared for those that love Him. ( 1 Cor. 2:9)
That verse encourages me. God is preparing an amazing, pure, godly man just for me. Even more than a man, though, God has an eternal home for me. Someday, all earthly pain will be gone, and I can walk with Jesus through meadows, gaze at stars, and worship Him forever. Nothing can beat intimacy with the Creator of Romance.

Re:
on Tuesday, August 2, 2011 at 5:01 pm

I am only 15, but a guy has never even liked me, that I know of. It's kinda depressing sometimes when your friends all have guys that like them (which a lot of mine do!) But this post was great. I really did think that i was too ugly or awkward for them to like me.
I'm like Heather Sv. in that i just really really want to be a good wife and mother, like that's my after school goal. I don't really care about a great career either. But until know i thought i was the only one in the world who thought that way. A lot of people think i'm weird for wanting that.
Thanks Lindsee for the great post. Really appreciate it.

So True!
on Tuesday, August 2, 2011 at 5:01 pm

Hey Lindsee!!
I definitely agree that God does guard our hearts.. I have been asked out a few times & rejected them bc I knew in my heart that God has someone else in store for me. I think that 2 many young ladies pursue guys when they are the ones who are suppose 2 be pursued.I also think that this happens bc young ladies aren't letting God have control...I do not believe in dating for fun.. I believe that you should get to know the guy you are interested in thru friendship & then date if you think that God wants you 2, to be together. Have patience & wait for your prince charming...Every good thing happens in God's timing.:)

Scared
on Wednesday, August 3, 2011 at 12:48 pm

I'm just happy to know that i'm not the only one who hasn't had a line up of past boyfriends. Sometimes I feel like i'll never have a boyfriend. But I honestly believe it's God protecting my emotions and purity.

When i'm put in a situation that could end up being dangerous, I have a hard time saying no to anyone. So i feel that if i even have the slightest pressure from a guy, i'll cave.

Plus, i think i get too emotionally attached to guys, and i depend on them more than God; I think of them more than God. I've had one boyfriend, and he turned my life upside down...in a bad way. I got way to attached and dependent on him. I think thats why God took him away from me. He dumped me, and it took around 5 months for me to get over it. Thats 8 months I've wasted that I could have been doing God's work, but I was too busy thinking about my boyfriend.

I regret dating him now, and i'm scared to ever get close to a guy again. Because i'm afraid i'll get too attached and put him about God. So thats why i've decided to wait till I get older and more mature.
Thanks for posting this.

Wow! I wish I could have had this attitude and heart the entire time I was in your same boat. My first boyfriend and kiss was my husband and that happened at the age of 29! I had been on a few dates before, but nothing came of them. In hind sight, I can clearly see that God was guarding my heart and saving me for my husband. I am so grateful! You have such the right attitude!!!

God's timing
on Friday, August 5, 2011 at 7:44 am

Woh!Same here...at 22,haven't been asked on a date either...not that it really bothers me.Just like Lindsee i believe God is protecting or keeping my heart for the right person.This has always been my thought.Here in Africa where i come from if a matured girl doesn't have boys flocking around her or asking her out,then,she has a spiritual problem.I can now see that God's ways are not our ways and His timing is the best.I also want the first man i date to be my husband(the special one He has prepared for me).God bless u Lindsee and y'all.*kisses*:-)

Hi I haven't read this article yet, I'm reading another one, but this first comment from "whatiamnotheis" touched me. I'v always felt left out because I'm 19 going on 20 and have never had a boyfriend. I know girls that have gotten their guy at like 13! So when I read this comment i was happy to know that i am not the only one who hasn't had a guy yet for my age. Also that was really encouraging to hear that all your crushes, God turned into amazing friendships! Thanks! :)

Good For You!!!!!!
on Friday, August 19, 2011 at 1:33 am

I'm sad to admit that I have had two boyfriends in my life time. They haven't been serious relationships yet, and haven't lasted more then a couple of months, but we have kissed and things like that. I just wanted to let you know, Lindsee, that I really admire you for never dating. I understand that you didn't mean for it to be this way, but the fact that you have honored God by making choices pleasing to Him is the most fantastic thing I have ever heard. God clearly has someone special picked out for you, and that guy is going to be the happiest man in the world when he finds you. I bet he's really going to respect you and admire you. I also love how you are fully accepting of God's decision to keep you single. I wonder if God would choose this for most of us, if we would listen to Him when it comes to dating and choices that we make when we like a guy. God has clearly blessed you. You have inspired me to not date, until God says the time is right. Thank you so much!

Wow, I read this and really appreciated it. I've always felt strange for not having ever dated (and now I'm 18) But as I was spending time talking to God about it the other day, I really felt impressed that He was protecting my heart, and this just affirmed it. Thanks for sharing.

Hi, I can relate so much to your story. I am 21 years old and have never dated or been in a relationship either. Sometimes i would think am I that bad, or am I that ugly. I too believe it is God saving my heart from many heart breaks, and preparing me for the man he has for me. I am willing to wait patiently and serve God wholeheartedly until my day comes. Thanks for sharing your story!

Re:
on Friday, November 18, 2011 at 10:19 am

Well I have had a few crushes here and there and most of the time its not that the boy was drop dead gorgeous, but that he just showed me a speck of attention. Even though I do like the attention I have to think bout whats best for me and what God thinks is best for me. So I always pray the attraction away and it goes. I admit that I have had a few crying spells here and there, but I fall very easliy and I know that it is the only way that I can save my whole heart, mind, and body for my furture husband. I know it may seem like torture and sometime it may feel that way but I know that it will be all worth it in the end. And it always help to know that your not alone in all the battles that you face. I think its amazing the women that come together to share their struggles and also help others with theirs. It really makes a difference!!! :) Stay Strong!!!!

Im 15, when I was younger I made a promise to myself that I would never ever marry or have a crush on anyone, or anything of the sort. Stupid me... I didnt know hormones would be like this. :p
I´ve never had a boyfriend, and I dont plan to anytime soon. But sometimes I feel so jealous when I see some of my friends so happy with their guys.

I needed this reminder. God has a plan for me, He has my prince charming waiting for me somewhere (over the rainbow?) and even if there is no prince charming... whom else do I want apart from Jesus, He loves me and has loved me since the beginning. He will never let me go and he´ll be here forever and ever. :)

Wow.. I've been struggling with being single for so long (I'm 18, I know I'm still young). I've made it through high school without ever having been asked on a date or to be someone's girlfriend. I was always JEALOUS and bitter with some of my friends who have boyfriends and boys flocking to their side.But recently, I've discovered that God has been guarding my heart. I'm thankful that he has, because when I do something I do it with my whole heart. I would've given my whole heart to the first boy that took interest in me. I'm thankful that God loves me that much, to keep me from being broken. I hope I don't have to wait too long for God to reveal the man he has for me! But, I know he will be worth it. Worth all of the tears and loneliness I've felt. To all of you girls who are going through the same, God will give us our Prince Charming soon! :)

I am 25 years old and have not had a guy take me out on a date. I have sought out dating sites and after all the guys I met not one was saved. I would love to know what it feels like to have someone wanting to show you off to the world. But I desire even more to depend on God and meet a male who holds God at the center as well. One day our time will come. Its refreshing to find out that I am not alone. Jesus have YOUR way with our life.

Glad I'm not alone
on Friday, July 27, 2012 at 6:25 pm

I'm 21 years old and I haven't had a boyfriend in my life. Sometimes it makes me feel sad, sometimes it makes me feel happy because I know God's plans for my life are AMAZING!

Right now I have the biggest crush I've ever had on a guy and he is not a Christian. Bummer. It's really hard, but God's plans are way better than our own and it's so much easier to trust Him than to work everything out ourselves.

So I'll cry to Him; tell Him what I love in my crushes and ask Him that if it's His will for us to be together, may that be made known soonest! :) And if not, then help me to accept it and get over my crush already!

Yep, glad to know I'm not alone. God bless you all

So I should be finishing an essay right now, but it has been hard concentrating. For the past few weeks I have been really doubtful and sad that I don't receive the same attention my friends get from other guys. I am also 19 years old and never been pursued or dated anyone. I am even at the point where I don't have any male friends.

Because of this, i would find myself asking God, what is wrong with me?, What do I need to do to fix my problem? Why are you putting me through this? The problem with these questions is that I haven't been walking in faith like I should. I just wanted to thank you all for sharing your experiences because now I don't feel as if I'm the only one going through this. As sisters in Christ, it is important that we keep each other encouraged. God Bless

Being single and being okay
on Monday, June 10, 2013 at 2:16 pm

Wow, tell me about it!
You have really written about this whole subject of waiting and trusting the Lord for His plan rather beautifully. Well Lindsee, I especially like your optimistic view and your brilliant attitude towards it. :)

If only I'd read this when I was younger it would have saved years of heartache thinking I wasn't pretty enough or there was something wrong with me.
Y e a r s I tell you! And with enough tears to water a tree..yikes

At one point desperation of wanting to have a relationship drove me into having a boyfriend under less than honorable circumstances. Thought I would be happy anyways. Funny thing is, it only lasted 2 days and I was beyond devastated after having to break up with him when I found out he made out with another girl. My life *revolved* around me 'finally' being in a relationship.. so that was basically the end of my world at that time.

Well that experience turned out to be the worst and on a more positive note, the best thing that has ever happened to me.
Worst because I was so close to throwing everything away and wouldn't have minded getting a bit physical (not too much tho lol..but still) and because he turned out later to be the sort of guy that SEEMS really nice but is actually quite the Casanova.
Best because some rather harsh truths surfaced such as how basically the idea of a boyfriend was my 'god' and how my views on relationships/the single lifestyle were really unhealthy and ignorant. Also I don't know how God did it but he managed to save my first kiss from this guy (!!!) and now it's something I really value, -fingers crossed- hopefully I can keep it that way until marriage :)
Looking back this was a really big thing for me because a) he's had more girlfriends than he can count and b) I wasn't even trying at that time!

So anyways let me sum up this really long post (oops). I'm glad God didn't leave me even though I didn't want him there, and I'm also really glad and proud of people like you who can stand firm on their faith and be so strong in your convictions against an over sexualized society.

It's very inspiring for people like me who struggle a lot when it comes to this area to read and it's wonderful that a lot of young girls can read this and know they're not alone.

Thanks and Godbless!!
